Where 1892 meets 2022, and neither apologizes for it, a visual masterpiece unfolds from the pairing. A lone palm tree stands sentinel at the entrance, a quiet preview of the drama within. Originally designed in 1892 by acclaimed architect Henry T. Bestor, this residence was completely reimagined with plans from Sutro Architects and rebuilt from the ground up (finished in 2022) new foundation, electrical,roof,custom windows,HVAC systems, plumbing, 400-amp electrical service. The bones are historic. Everything else is brand new. Ascend the grand front stairway to a door marked in gold leaf, and the story only gets better. Set on the top floor and drenched in light with multiple skylights, the home unfolds across wide-plank European oak floors that stretch room to room like an invitation. In the kitchen, a built in dining hub seats 8 and is flanked by Italian porcelain counters, rich floor to ceiling walnut cabinetry that meets built in Thermador Professional appliances and a wifi gas range built for the dinner party you've been meaning to throw. Three bedrooms rise beneath soaring eleven-foot ceilings, each one catching the light differently as the day moves. Two baths, both immaculate and the guest with a sexy flair of rich black tile and bronze Brizo fixtures.The primary bath boasts oversized floor to ceiling tiles and a large skylight. A bonus attic space made for a great yoga retreat or storage. Then there's the garage a full half garage - 12 by 44 feet, dedicated entirely to this residence. Multi-car parking, a private gym, a workshop, a wine cellar: in a city where a single spot is a luxury, this is a small empire of possibility.Smart systems run quietly in the background Nest, Ring, keyless entry so the house takes care of itself while you're out enjoying everything the Noe Valley and Valencia corridor has to offer. Craft cocktail bars, artisanal coffee shops, boutique shopping, acclaimed restaurants and Dolores Park just a stone's throw away. BART, MUNI and the freeway are just minutes away. This is a home with a past worth telling and a present worth living in.
